Cap Quotations
America has tossed its cap over the wall of space.
John F. Kennedy
I put a Phrygian cap on the old dictionary.
Victor Hugo
I would cap the amount of federal government can spend at 20 percent of the economy. Bring it back to 20 percent or lower. And say, we are not going to spend above that level. Democrats, they want to raise your taxes and spend more and more and turn us into an economy which is no longer driven by the private sector.
Mitt Romney
Cap the well, yes. Clear up the mess, yes. Make compensation - yes, absolutely. But would it be right to have legislation that independently targets BP rather than other companies? I don't think that - would be right.
David Cameron
I talked to a lot of employers who just are, are fearful of what's coming next out of Washington. It's all the spending, it's all the debt. It's their national energy tax, they want to call it cap and trade - more mandates, higher costs, more taxes. Their healthcare bill - more mandates, higher costs, higher taxes.
John Boehner
My son loves the Hotel du Cap, in the south of France.
Diane von Furstenberg
Labor is the fabled magician's wand, the philosophers stone, and the cap of good fortune.
James Weldon Johnson
It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if we didn't have a salary cap.
Jerry Jones
I'm finding myself really angry over spending and the deficit. I'm finding myself really angry over what's happening in the Middle East, the decision to stay in Afghanistan indefinitely. I'm angry about cap and trade. And I've been on record for a long time on the failed war on drugs.
Gary Johnson
You can have fun, but you also have to put on your thinking cap every day.
Tommy Shaw
