We must develop huge demonstrations, because the world is used to big dramatic affairs. They think in terms of hundreds of thousands and millions and billions... Billions of dollars are appropriated at the twinkling of an eye. Nothing little counts.
A. Philip Randolph
I can't stress enough how strongly I am against any state intervention in a sovereign nation's affairs.
Abby Martin
Human beings can remain spiritual and religious while enjoying the benefits of rational administration of their affairs.
Abdolkarim Soroush

Abraham Lincoln
In my view of the present aspect of affairs, there is no need of bloodshed and war. There is no necessity for it. I am not in favor of such a course, and I may say in advance, there will be no blood shed unless it be forced upon the government. The government will not use force unless force is used against it.
Waiting for me in Stockholm will be a personal assistant - Katrina from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs - as well the secretary of the Swedish Academy. They'll help us with our things and take us to our hotel. From the moment I arrive, I'll always be together with the other two laureates.

Aditya Pancholi
Alas for the affairs of men! When they are fortunate you might compare them to a shadow; and if they are unfortunate, a wet sponge with one dash wipes the picture away.
Aeschylus
Affairs are easier of entrance than of exit; and it is but common prudence to see our way out before we venture in.
Aesop
Well, it's very clear that the Arab population is rising because they'd like to have a say in the running of their affairs, running of their government, and this is very legitimate.
Al-Waleed bin Talal
From sublime affairs of state to the stark and vulgar popular culture of our own contemporary lives, let's make this descent into the lower registers together and recognize the good, nasty fun of 'Gone Girl,' Chicago writer Gillian Flynn's novel about the mysterious disappearance of a clever and deceptive young Midwestern housewife.
Alan Cheuse
Alpha men are very turned on by the alpha woman, really high chemistry, really fun to work with, probably really fun to have affairs with, but there's not sustainable harmony in that lack of complement. There can only be one person in the driver's seat.
Alanis Morissette
At the beginning, because the lives of the hostages were at stake, then during this silent period we have taken several measures like not accepting the ultimatum of the terrorists threatening to kill our foreign affairs minister.
Alberto Fujimori

Alexander Dubcek
A Health Affairs study comparing patient-satisfaction scores with HCAHPS surveys of almost 100,000 nurses showed that a better nurse work environment was associated with higher scores on every patient-satisfaction survey question.
Alexandra Robbins
This world crisis came about without women having anything to do with it. If the women of the world had not been excluded from world affairs, things today might have been different.
Alice Paul
Blunders are an inescapable feature of war, because choice in military affairs lies generally between the bad and the worse.
Allan Massie
Providence conceals itself in the details of human affairs, but becomes unveiled in the generalities of history.
The Council of Islamic Affairs is doing a great service to the world by promoting a greater understanding in America of the rich heritage of the Islamic peoples and their hopes and aspirations for the future.
Politics: A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage.
Future. That period of time in which our affairs prosper, our friends are true and our happiness is assured.
A total abstainer is one who abstains from everything but abstention, and especially from inactivity in the affairs of others.
I have become like a rhinoceros - thick-skinned - all the gossip about my numerous affairs does not bother me anymore.
I've spent many hours on national TV talking about politics and current affairs, including sexual harassment and the #MeToo Movement.
Just cheating and lying in any way doesn't go well with me. So as a person, I am not okay with extramarital affairs.
If I place love above everything, it is because for me it is the most desperate, the most despairing state of affairs imaginable.
Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.
All of our affairs, since the union of crowns, have been managed by the advice of English ministers, and the principal offices of the kingdom filled with such men, as the court of England knew would be subservient to their designs.
The current neglect of the problem can only irritate this deplorable state of affairs. The Black Muslims should constitute a warning to our society, a warning that must be heeded if we are to preserve the society.
Who, then, will govern? The answer must be, Man - for we have no angels in the shape of men, as yet, who are willing to take charge of our political affairs.
I don't want to repeat myself. I don't want to shoot 10 installments of 'Infernal Affairs.'
I probably owe my political dismay to New Labour, but also my growing sense that the satirical shape of human affairs is international and historical, not glued to the tawdry ambitions of a team of politicians who represent nothing but themselves.
The difficulty with the present state of affairs is that there is no legislation on the sources of funding for the Polish film industry. There is no legislation concerning filmmaking. And, there is no legislation on television that would be beneficial to filmmaking.
I imagine I will be less involved in film and be focused more on family and foreign affairs.
The work being done by Linklaters to help organizations understand keys to success in the development sector serves as an important international affairs issue and crucial element in how all of us work to support service provision in impoverished communities in a lasting and effective way.
I'm interested in current affairs and social policy as a whole, but I don't watch politics for sport.
I'm not pretending I can change the world, or to be an expert on social and political affairs. But I certainly have a right to say when something is wrong.
It's a remake of a film called Inferno Affairs. It's a Hong Kong film, and if we come anywhere close to what they did in the original, we're going to have a hot property on our hands, because Inferno Affairs is a great piece.
Dance with a girl three times, and if you like the light of her eye and the tone of voice with which she, breathless, answers your little questions about horseflesh and music about affairs masculine and feminine, then take the leap in the dark.
Governments everywhere have ministries dedicated to women's affairs. I know of only one with a Ministry for Women Empowerment: Indonesia. Charged with the 'realization of gender equality and justice' together with children's well-being, the ministry frames gender equality as a matter of justice.
Happiness includes chiefly the idea of satisfaction after full honest effort. No one can possibly be satisfied and no one can be happy who feels that in some paramount affairs he failed to take up the challenge of life.

The statesmen still say that we should not interfere in the internal affairs of other nations and yet it is not possible any longer not to interfere, even when we do not mean to do so.
Those nations have a very great responsibility at this juncture of the world's affairs, for by throwing their joint weight into the scales of history on the right side, they may tip the balance decisively in favour of peace.
There are, in human affairs, two kinds of problems: those which are amenable to a technical solution and those which are not.

Britain has national honor. It would not have allowed Israel to meddle in its internal affairs.
I am particularly interested in primary education because the state of affairs in primary education in this country is a cause for concern.
