I do think that maybe, even subconsciously, a lot of parents in the West are wondering, have we gone too far in the direction of coddling and protecting - you know, you see kids, sometimes that seem very rude and disrespectful. And the more important thing is they don't seem that happy.

Amy Chua

To put it simply and a bit crudely: Our economy is demanding more well-educated workers than our schools are providing. To attract this scarce resource, communities have to offer more than just jobs.

Adam Davidson

The companies that choose to list on Nasdaq are among the most innovative, risk-taking businesses in the world, and they are proof to us all that prudent risk-taking drives our economy forward.

Adena Friedman

To act coolly, intelligently and prudently in perilous circumstances is the test of a man - and also a nation.

Adlai Stevenson I

We don't have to be rude with each other; we have to be diplomatic.

Adolfo Aguilar Zinser

Affairs are easier of entrance than of exit; and it is but common prudence to see our way out before we venture in.

Aesop

Hear the words of prudence, give heed unto her counsels, and store them in thine heart; her maxims are universal, and all the virtues lean upon her; she is the guide and the mistress of human life.

Akhenaton

Come to think of it, even though I've received tons of fan letters and presents from everyone, I've never written anyone back. How rude of me!

Akira Toriyama

Doing something because God has said to do it does not make a person moral: it merely tells us that person is a prudential believer, akin to the person who obeys the command of an all-powerful secular king.

Alan Dershowitz

It's incredible considering the public perception that he was tight fisted and he was more than prudent, and lacked ambition to take Tottenham to where the fans wanted them to be.

Alan Hansen

I suppose when I was writing 'V for Vendetta' I would in my secret heart of hearts have thought: 'Wouldn't it be great if these ideas actually made an impact?' So when you start to see that idle fantasy intrude on the regular world... It's peculiar.

Alan Moore

I don't like this young crudeness now which is supposed to be comedy on Friday nights.

When I came up with the Alexa Bliss character, I wanted to be the girl that everyone knew. There was always that girl in high school who was mean to everybody. She was mean and rude, but everyone still voted for her to be homecoming queen. That girl. And I wanted to portray that girl.

Alexa Bliss

If someone does something that makes me mad, well, chances are it'll probably make other people mad if I do it, too. I like to think, 'What's the meanest thing, the rudest thing I can say right now?' Or how can I completely discredit someone? That's just my mentality.

Alexa Bliss

A soft refusal is not always taken, but a rude one is immediately believed.

Alexander Chase

Ali Wong

This has been a most wonderful evening. Gertrude has said things tonight it will take her 10 years to understand.

Alice B. Toklas

I like sugar, be it candy, this season's pumpkin chocolate chip bars, or wine. Sugar is bad for me. It just sits on my tummy, causing my middle child Esme to ask if we are having a fourth baby. Rude!

Alicia Coppola

There's a lot of rudeness and sullen behavior and kids that are very entitled and spoiled, just buy me more stuff. I didn't want to raise kids like that.
