School-leavers unfortunately will come away thinking the First World War consisted simply of 'going over the top' on the Western Front to slaughter in no-man's-land, when the conflict extended so much further, to the collapse of four empires and numerous civil wars.

Antony Beevor

There's a lot of pride that business owners have. It's actually really critical that pride and ownership extends to everyone in the organization. I think of everyone is in the same boat in driving the company forward.

Aaron Levie

We must erase bin Laden's ugly legacy, not extend it: by ending the Patriot Act's erosion of our civil liberties, we can protect the freedoms that make America worth fighting for.

Aaron Swartz

Growing up, I knew I was different. But I didn't know what it meant to be Aboriginal. I just knew that I had a really big, extended family. I was taught nothing about who we were or where we came from.

Adam Goodes

I don't ever take an extended period off between minicamp and the start of training camp.

Adam Vinatieri

Amboyna seems to present the most favorable opening. Fifty thousand souls are there perishing without the means of life, and the situation of the island is such that a mission there established might, with the blessing of God, be extended to the neighboring islands in those seas.

Adoniram Judson

Pakistan's being an ally and helping the United States, we ought to show Pakistan that we are appreciative for the help that's been extended.

Al Green

In our quest to define and describe the world, we have crisscrossed the oceans and continents, compiling exhaustive knowledge about its life forms and features, and extended our physical reach through technology, which provides us instantaneous and pervasive access to information about seemingly everything.

Alan Huffman

We believe the Queer community is a model for our global extended family, and together we have the power to create positive change for all of humanity.

Alaska

The old charters of Massachusetts, Virginia, and the Carolinas had given title to strips of territory extending from the Atlantic westward to the Pacific.

Albert Bushnell Hart

Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace.

Albert Schweitzer

Clean air and water, a diversity of animal and plant species, soil and mineral resources, and predictable weather are annuities that will pay dividends for as long as the human race survives - and may even extend our stay on Earth.

Alex Steffen

I don't think I extend my hatred to other people's outfits.

Alexa Chung

Similar to the telescope or the telephone, television enables us to see or hear things we never dreamed of. When you look at the details, a concrete scene between people is really something incredibly unlikely, something subtle that requires extended description.

Alexander Kluge

Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them.

Alfred North Whitehead

By the year 1670, wooden chimneys and log houses of the Plymouth and Bay colonies were replaced by more sightly houses of two stories, which were frequently built with the second story jutting out a foot or two over the first, and sometimes with the attic story still further extending over the second story.

Alice Morse Earle

History never repeats, but there are the obvious precedents that pessimists can reach for: Sarajevo, 1914; the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia, 1938. But equally relevant might be the tragically meaningless guarantees Britain extended to Poland in 1939.

Alistair Horne

I have been writing since I was a kid. I also traveled a good deal for my work and did extended stays in places like Geneva.

Amor Towles

When I was in school, and even after, I did a lot of classic plays, and I guess it sort of extended into film.

Andre Holland

The only time I've ever taken out a loan is for the building work I had done at our house and I did that by extending the mortgage.

Andrea McLean

I want to extend my career for as long as I can.

Andres Iniesta
