Americans are overreaching; overreaching is the most admirable and most American of the many American excesses.
George Will
Confronted with the impossibility of remaining faithful to one's beliefs, and the equal impossibility of becoming free of them, one can be driven to the most inhuman excesses.
James Baldwin
Director Gary Ross has created an adaptation that is faithful in both narrative and theme, but he's also brought a rich and powerful vision of Panem, its brutality and excesses, to the film as well. His world building's fantastic, whether it be the Seam or the Capitol.
Suzanne Collins
I don't want to drive the markets crazy. I don't want to create trouble, but rather order and rules and norms. We have to struggle against financial excesses, those who speculate with sovereign debt, those who develop financial products which have done so much harm.
Francois Hollande
I regret and suffer those losses, but it's God's will. He will pardon me if I committed excesses, but I don't think I did.
Augusto Pinochet
It is the belief that extremes and excesses of inequality must be reduced so that each person is free to fully develop his or her full potential. This is why we take precious time out of our lives and give it to politics.
Paul Wellstone
It is the fine excesses of life that make it worth living.
Richard Le Gallienne
My generation of the Sixties, with all our great ideals, destroyed liberalism, because of our excesses.
Camille Paglia
People endure what they endure and they deal with it. It may corrupt them. It may lead them into all sorts of compensatory excesses.
Dennis Potter
Rock and Roll has certainly tried to take its toll on me. I'd rather not talk about my past excesses here, although some hardcore rockers might argue that those excesses were responsible for some great records, but I know which side I came out on.
Tony Visconti
Stock market corrections, although painful at the time, are actually a very healthy part of the whole mechanism, because there are always speculative excesses that develop, particularly during the long bull market.
Ron Chernow
The first thing you need to know, in order to establish some perspective and avoid panic, is that the violent government excesses we're seeing today are far from unprecedented.
L. Neil Smith
The new fashion is to talk about the most private parts of your life; other fashion is to repent of your excesses and to criticize the drugs that made you happy in the other times.
Mick Jagger
The professional study of economics has become ideological brainwashing. It is a defense of the excesses of the capitalist system.
David Korten
The worst excesses of the Congress of the 1980s pale in comparison with what is going on in Washington today.
Marty Meehan
Virtue is more to be feared than vice, because its excesses are not subject to the regulation of conscience.
Adam Smith
We are living in the excesses of freedom. Just take a look at 42nd Street and Broadway.
Will Durant
We pay when old for the excesses of youth.
J. B. Priestley
