Attempted Quotations

If you persist in your purpose of secession, there will be war - a bloody and cruel war. Not only will the North fight, but she will also triumph. The experiment of secession will fail, and the South, in ruin and desolation, will bitterly repent the day when she attempted to overthrow a wise and beneficent government.

The character and fight against fascism moved centre stage when, in 1936, Franco attempted to overthrow by force the Popular Front Government of Republican Spain.

There's no way that I could have known about a 72-oz. steak challenge in Amarillo unless thousands upon thousands of locals and travellers alike had attempted it. I guess if 'Man V Food' is me paying homage to these legends, then I suppose 'Man V Food Nation' is the legacy.

It isn't the original scandal that gets people in the most trouble - it's the attempted cover-up.

The Obama administration's attempted short-term fixes, even with unprecedented monetary easing by the Federal Reserve, produced average GDP growth of just 2.2% over the past three years, and the consensus outlook appears no better for the year ahead.

I've always been able to be firm, to talk my way out of sticky situations. Bullies at school. Attempted muggings.

Every major federal campaign-finance-reform effort since 1943 has attempted to treat corporations and unions equally. If a limit applied to corporations, it applied to unions; if unions could form PACs, corporations could too; and so on. DISCLOSE is the first major campaign-finance bill that has not taken this approach.

After I arrived in Basel, I initially attempted to continue the project of my days in Dulbecco's laboratory, namely, the transcriptional control of the simian virus 40 genes.

When I was a child, I was always nicking my mum's jewellery to wear, and I loved to drape a massive Chinese shawl around me from our fancy-dress box. I was obsessed with a feather and rabbit-fur collar from the age of three and attempted to make one with my friend, whose father was a gamekeeper.

What is attempted in these film is of course a synthesis. But it can be seen by someone who has his feet in both cultures. Someone who will bring to bear on the films involvement and detachment in equal measure.

Gandhi, brought out of his semirural setting and given a Western-style education, initially attempted to become more English than the English.

I enjoyed needling the press. If I didn't enjoy it, I wouldn't have done it. Writers have rarely played, so as a coach, you have antagonistic feelings about some guy writing up the story of the game who's never even attempted to play it.

When I joined the freedom movement in Mississippi in my early 20s, it was to come to the aid of sharecroppers, like my parents, who had been thrown off the land they'd always known - the plantations - because they attempted to exercise their 'democratic' right to vote.

When President George W. Bush attempted to reform Social Security, that proposal was more unpopular with Americans than the Iraq war. People love their entitlements.

Nothing is achieved before it be thoroughly attempted

Now there was no wonder in the Statue of Liberty illusion because he, Copperfield, attempted to do something so large that it stretched the credibility of the audience to the point where most people didn't believe any of it anymore.

There are only two states in the nation that allow for a government to take private property and turn it over to a private company. That is not 'Public Use.' The procedure has been abused for a long while; and many other states have attempted to do the same things - but, Missouri actually allows it. Missouri is one of the worst places for it.

License buyers have asked for - and we attempted to provide - more advance notice of season dates to help them select their vacation days. However, since deer harvest data will not be available until mid-March and bear and wild turkey harvest results were just made available, the Board and staff concluded more time was needed before taking final action on the 2006-07 seasons and bag limits.

Leo already attempted to do that one at the first meeting.

She was a little intimidating, not as a person but just on the court because she's so physical and she's so intense. One of my first practices I attempted to guard her and we were playing to '7' and I think all seven points were scored on me.

has attempted to embrace the fans more than ever. Maybe it's the first time we've really worked so hard at it. All across the league I am seeing the same thing. Boston is a hockey town. That we know.

He lined up out of position. That means instead of being two yards from the ball carrier, you might be seven, and then what should be an easy tackle near the line becomes an attempted tackle in the open field, and a 2-yard gain turns into 10.

I found it very disturbing that Mr. Baldwin's lawyers attempted to cast terrible aspersions toward Kim rather than focusing on the main issue, which was before the court today, which is his daughter, Ireland.

China is attempting the death-defying feat, which no one has attempted in the history of the world, which is to move a billion people out of poverty. When I speak to Chinese policy-makers, the thing that annoys them the most about Western policy-makers is that they're not given any credit for anything.

Today, I can report to you that our investigation has uncovered several individuals, including individuals who may have links to the hijackers, who fraudulently have obtained or attempted to obtain hazardous material transportation licenses,

What we have attempted to do in this draft is try to make Colonial Avenue much more of a local street - a local cul-de-sac, actually.

He came in long and apparently attempted to take off again near the end of the runway.

He moved his legs and his arms again when they got him into the Bethesda hospital. He attempted to open his eyes, and that can't be anything but good.

Some governments who had been in power previously had attempted to accomplish this and we want to see it get done.

Ironically, only ten months prior to this sentencing, Roscoe Tanner and I sat down for an interview at the beautiful La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club in Southern California. This is the last public interview given by Roscoe Tanner. From an editorial perspective, this interview is something we at RadioTennis.com are quite proud of. Only Sports Illustrated Magazine, Tennis Week Magazine and RadioTennis.com have attempted to document the life and times of this former athlete. Unfortunately, for all the wrong reasons, this interview continues to gain international interest.

Some of the spins he has learned on his skateboard had never been done before, because we, as skaters, didn't have a frame of reference to try them for the first time. For instance, nobody had attempted a 1080 in skating until Shaun tried it last year. He wasn't scared because he's done it plenty of times in the snow.

Stealing a Rhinoceros should not be attempted lightly.

I'm still upset. We got a bunch of bad breaks (a couple of incorrect scorecards and an ineligible player). We came out today and attempted to finish on top. But Geneva played solid from top to bottom. I'm looking forward to next year.

John Eddie Williams has taken a sudden and expensive interest in the SD7 race. But instead of being upfront about his involvement in a Republican Party primary, Williams apparently attempted to hide his contribution by sending it through an innocuously named political action committee. Voters deserve to know the true source of campaign funding and the real players in the race.

I think with that Ohio State defense it was a competition, it was a rush to get the tackle. That was just the mentality up there. So I attempted to get all my tackles solo because our linebacker, when they come in there, they just hit whatever's in the way. I take pride in that. I try to be a complete corner and I think that's one step to doing that.

I thought before we attempted to trade Steven, he had started grasping the way we want him to play. Rebounding, giving us energy, I thought he was doing that.

I think it says something that I have never had an obscene letter. A young man once attempted one, but it was so totally illiterate and hopeless that it made me laugh.

Travis did a great job throwing the ball. Our line protected him real well. I'd like to be more balanced than that Wood attempted 39 passes but we got behind and I wanted to try to keep us in the game.

We have been using the Virtual Sex mark in association with our products since at least 1994. Consumers have come to associate the Virtual Sex mark with Digital Playground and a product line having high production values, leading technology and A-list adult stars. Our success is reflected in the fact that competitors have repeatedly attempted to capitalize on our branding, marketing and the good will associated with our mark. So far, we have successfully policed our mark, and have had infringing products removed from the marketplace.

We have always attempted to do things differently. Our vision has taken us to unprecedented levels of success and innovation. Just keeping up with conventional technology is not enough for us.

Microsoft has got a real problem because they must be in the top 10 percent of companies that are attempted to be hacked into.

Unless we take significant steps to address that, it's going to continue to be the problem. States have attempted to address this, but are somewhat constrained in what they're allowed to do. It raises the question of why Congress is not taking steps to amend this. As long as Congress doesn't act, I think you're going to see states be as creative as they can in doing something themselves.

We have attempted to contact Bobby, using every method we know of. He has simply disappeared. And, as far as we're concerned, he is no longer responsible for the land.

Whether it's domestic violence, gang violence, attempted suicide, accidental shooting, or something else, intervention strategies will be personalized. We're looking at this from a public health perspective as a health epidemic.

We're certainly hopeful. We've attempted to listen, and we've attempted to respond to their concerns. We've made a substantial change.

We really attempted it in a full-force Flaming Lips behemoth production style. We recorded 100 tracks of our beloved pedal steel guitar and 100 guitar overdubs for the music, and for the vocals we stacked all these crazy harmonies. We wanted to add different layers that people might expect from us, but we tried hard not to change the fundamental nature of the song.

The Dems are focused on process, not results. Clinton knew bin Laden was a threat, and he attempted to 'undertake measures.' That bin Laden plotted to kill 3,000 Americans during the waning years of his term is irrelevant. Since Clinton didn't run afoul of multilateral institutions, he gets a pass. Bush has toppled two totalitarian regimes, rescued millions from Saddam and killed or detained thousands of terrorists. But he's still an ideologue and an international rogue, so, the Dems say, he has to go.

We did a sci-fi action flick. A lot of people were surprised that we had attempted something like that.

Whenever I attempted to sing of love, it turned to pain. And again, when I tried to sing of pain, it turned to love. Thus were love and pain divided in me.

We shot better in the first half, but played better defense in the second. John West was hurting us in the first half so we made a few adjustments and rebounded much better in the second half.

To the extent that she attempted to keep the Democrat flame burning in the Schwarzenegger administration he snuffed out that flame.

To the millions of Americans who've attempted to use HealthCare.gov to shop and enroll in health-care coverage, I want to apologize to you that the Web site has not worked as well as it should. We know how desperately you need affordable coverage.

Until the end of the game I knew that we had attempted only one free throw shot all night. And I told the girls to quit being content with perimeter shots and drive to the basket. It'll get you to the foul line.

U.S. PIRG has again attempted to scare the public regarding particulate matter pollution.

We approached it in a way that attempted to give the sheriff incentive to raise money. He doesn't like that approach.

We believe that Mr. Baldwin has severe emotional problems. Mr. Baldwin's lawyers attempted to cast terrible aspersions toward Kim rather than focusing on the main issue, which is his daughter.

Even though I knew my way around Facebook, Twitter terrified me. RT? OH? Hootsuite? Huh? My Twitter-savvy friends attempted to explain what a hashtag was, but, still mystified, I signed up for an online Twitter 101 class. Yes. I'm geeky like that.

The snow was falling heavily outside. I sat before a blank page for close to ten hours. I refused to get up; instead attempted with great pains to coerce stubborn thoughts from my noodle. Useless it seemed until the 11th hour and then all I'd seen and felt and heard, arrived, and was transcribed effortlessly like the tune of chirping birds.

The second-half performance reflected what we've been about all season. It was in stark contrast to the attempted exhibition stuff of the first half.
