A good writer is not, per se, a good book critic. No more so than a good drunk is automatically a good bartender.
Jim Bishop
A poll earlier this year showed that 42 per cent of Americans believe we're in the End Times.
Andrew Denton
About 20 per cent of the population believe themselves to have a food allergy and only about five per cent actually do.
John Warner
All pain is per se and especially in excess, destructive and ultimately fatal in its nature and effects.
James Young Simpson
Americans spend 3 billion hours per year filling out tax forms and keeping tax records.
Jim Ramstad
An economy growing at 7 percent per year, can and must find the resources to improve the lives of its millions of poor.
Sonia Gandhi
An infernal machine that produces every minute an impressive amount of poor, 26 million poor in 10 years are 2.6 million per year of new poor, this is the road, well, the road to hell.
Hugo Chavez
And Michael likes to read a lot. People don't realize that about him but he reads a number of books per week and he's fascinated just about every subject.
David Gest
Artists aren't really people. And I'm actually 40 per cent papier mache.
Steven Morrissey
As my men could profitably employ themselves on these streams, I moved slowly along, averaging not more than five or six miles per day and sometimes remained two days at the same encampment.
William Henry Ashley
As we move towards 8 or 10 billion people on the planet, there's a little less gold per capita. Each one of us will continue to be fighting over an ever smaller percentage of total resources. This is not a happy thought.
Dean Kamen
At a moderate calculation, among a million of persons inhabiting the metropolis, there are, at least, twenty-five thousand children who attend these schools, and cost their parents as many pounds sterling, per annum.
Joseph Lancaster
At the last census it indicated that about 22 per cent of Australians were born overseas.
Julie Bishop
At the time the Sendmail program had a very poor reputation with respect to security, with four root vulnerabilities per year for two successive years.
Wietse Venema
Auto racing is boring except when a car is going at least 172 miles per hour upside down.
Dave Barry
Barley, where it succeeds, yields a larger weight of feed per acre than any other small grain crop.
David F. Houston
Because of technological limits, there is a certain amount of food that we can produce per acre. If we were to have intensive greenhouse agriculture, we could have much higher production.
Ralph Merkle
Because we only feed in the United States less than 1 per cent of the meals, most of them are eaten elsewhere. Most meals are eaten at home. So to make McDonald's the target is not going to solve the problem.
Jim Cantalupo
Beef also was difficult to be procured and exceedingly poor; the price nearly sixpence farthing per pound.
William Bligh
Between 1939 and 1945 you produced weapons and war equipment valued at thirteen billion dollars, 70 per cent of which you shipped to your allies. The same process is going on today in Canada's much larger and growing industry.
